Preacher told me last Sunday mornin' Son, you better start livin' right You need to quit the women and whiskey And carryin' on all night Don't you wanna hear Him call your name When you're standin' at the Pearly Gates? I told the preacher, "Yes I do" But I hope they don't call today I ain't ready Everybody wants to go to heaven Have a mansion high above the clouds Everybody wants to go to heaven But nobody wants to go now Said, Preacher, maybe you didn't see me Throw an extra twenty in the plate There's one for everything I did last night And one to get me through today Here's a ten to help you remember Next time you got the good Lord's ear Say I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry I'm havin' fun down here Don't you know that Everybody wants to go to heaven Get their wings and fly around Everybody wants to go to heaven But nobody wants to go now Someday I want to see those streets of gold In my halo But I wouldn't mind waiting at least A hundred years or so Everybody wants go to heaven It beats the other place there ain't no doubt Everybody wants go to heaven But nobody wanna go now Everybody wants go to heaven Hallelujah, let me hear you shout Everybody wants go to heaven But nobody wants go now I think I speak for the crowd Nobody wanna go now, yeah Everybody wants to go to heaven Get their wings and fly around Everybody wants to go to heaven But nobody wants to go now Everybody wants to go to heaven Get their wings and fly around Everybody wants to go to heaven But nobody wants to go now
